Nice. I started with an '08. Loved that truck. Traded it in for a dealer driven 2017 Black Edition with 8k miles. Had no intention of getting rid of that one. Since I've worked from home since 2007, that Black Edition only had 26k miles on it. Then Covid stupid prices came around. I paid $37k for the 2017 in 2017. Dealer gave me $32.5 for the trade on the 2021 RTL-E. Couldn't pass that up! Never get that much again. Then, they listed my 2017 for $37.5k (more than I paid for it in 2017!). It was gone in less than two weeks.I had a 2010 Ridgeline for a few years....a total BEAST in the snow.
After a few repairs, then hitting a turkey ($3,500 in damage), I traded it in on my Tacoma.
No love for Casey Stoner? I used to love watching him crash out as Valentino Rossi pressured him and then zipped by to win races.I Have Nothing But Love For Carl Fogarty. Ducati has Had Some Greats, That Is For Sure...Bayliss, Checa, Biaggi Now And Then.
"Found On Road Dead" and "Fix Or Repair Daily" are the two that were implanted in my head at a young age! I had never heard the "First On Race Day" or "F'd Over Rebuilt Dodge" but I will use those here on out depending on the audience!! Here is a new one I just made up "Fails On Realistic Duties" ;~))My daughter has a 2012 Focus.
I told her it's now a collector's item.
Really she said?
Sure, quite often collected from the side of the road by AAA!

One of my treasured books is Sheenes biography.Foggy is a British institution as far as bike racing is concerned.
But then Barry Sheene is bike royalty as well.

The man was tuffer than 12" nails!
And I also remember a lot of the police in our area when I was a bit naughty on a bike while young used to use the opening line.
"Who do you think you are then?
Barry Sheene?"
An institution!
I ain't showing my age by making a choice..Or if you were naughty in a car.
“Who do you think you are sir? Stirling Moss/Nigel Mansell/David Coulthard (pick a decade)
Can I go for James Hunt?Or if you were naughty in a car.

Thanks! I liked my ‘08, it was bigger, and more like a truck, but was ugly AF. The in bed trunk is a big plus, for me. Room enough to store essential stuff. Has a drain plug so you could fill it up with ice and beverages for a tailgate. Bonus, it‘s big enough to hide a body!I dig that Ridgeline, man. They seem to have nailed it with those newer ones.
Love it! Happy three time Ridgeline owner here. I have a ‘21, currently. Not a huge fan of the stock tires in the snow. Not bad, but could be better. They are better than what was on my ‘17Since retiring & downsizing, we're down to two rides in the house:
2001 Triumph Bonneville:

Purchased new as soon as the Bonnie was re-introduced. Had a lot of bikes in my days, but the Bonnie is the one I could never let go of; it's the perfect bike for me. Touring, cruising, running errands-- it does everything I would ask.
2023 Honda Ridgeline:

Purchased earlier this year, after our beloved Mazda cx5 was totaled by an iPhone distracted teenager speeding trough town in her dads car. Wife wanted another SUV, me a truck... the Ridgeline was perfect for our needs. Haven't driven in snow yet though![]()
Much Love For Stoner And Most Other Riders Who Rode A Ducati In Moto GP. I Was Sticking To Superbike Or World Superbike Initially But Am Fine Going Moto GP As Well. Add Stoner, Rossi, Hayden, Dovizioso To The List.No love for Casey Stoner? I used to love watching him crash out as Valentino Rossi pressured him and then zipped by to win races.![]()
